COW AND SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
These have been frequently visited by the Sanitary Staff throughout
the year, and have been found in good order. There were three new
applications for licenses for cow houses, and two new applications for
slaughter houses.
The new application for cow houses was from John Greiser, Chisenhale
Road, and one from Edward Jones, Hamilton Road : these two were
granted. The third application was from John Jenkins, who sought for
a license to the premises at 62, Totty Street. These premises are situated
in the centre of a square of buildings, and the inhabitants, fearing a
nuisance would arise, formed a deputation and waited upon the Sanitary
Committee, to express their hope that the license would not be granted.
Mr. Jenkins was communicated with, and was induced to desist from
endeavouring to obtain the license. He then tried for premises situate
in Robinson Road. The same proceedings were again gone through,
with the like result. Of the two slaughter houses, one was from
Alexander Clark, 348, Hackney Road, and the other from Job Mansfield,
of Digby Street. No opposition was made ; consequently the licenses
were granted. All the premises for which new licenses were sought were
visited by the Sanitary Committee prior to any action being taken ; and
any alterations or improvements required were ordered to be done.
